STRUGGLE WITH PRIDE.

should be Mrs. Chesney!'
And Mrs. Vane's musical laugh rang
out as she watched the lovely face OF
her sister flushing and pai,ng SO pain
fully under her steady gaze.
II wish you would not speak in that
way, Clara. 1t is worse than heartless!
cried Rita passionately.
Clara Vane leaned further back on
the luxurious cushion, entirely unmoved
by her sisters indignation.
my dear Rita, to succeed in this
world you should do away with all
Rita rose to her feet All the bright
color had died out of her face.
MY life will be a failure, then, for
l do not intend to adopt any such
creedw
And throwing the roses she had been
arranging on the table, she left the
room.
Once in her own room, she threw
herself down beside the bed, passion
sobs breaking from her lips.
"How can she be SO cruel?" sobbed
the poor girl.
And feeling of bitter shame swept
over her as she recalled all her sisters
maneuvres to entrap the handsome
young stranger.
Mrs. Vane was thorough woman
of the world. She had married her
husband for his position and wealth.
and she determined that her young
sister. who lived with her, should fol-
low in her footsteps.
But, alasl for her ambitious schemes.
There was no one among all their ac-
quaintance who suited her fastidious
| taste.
But one day Ralph Chesney returned
from his travels. Then Mrs. Vane's
organ, that stood for heart, thrilled
with satisfaction.
He was found at last!
A brilliant position and an immense
fortune, handsome person, polished
manners, and a mind enriched by edu-
cation and years of travel. The gods
had been kind indeed! Mrs. Vane
really envied her sister her good for
tune.
Rita understood her sisters plans,
and from the first she was unusually
cold to Ralph.
She knew that nearly always a man
simple and earnest is at the mercy of
a clever designing woman; so all the
| attention Ralph bestowed on her she
| considered the result of her sister S
scheming.
She declined all his invitations to
drive or walk. fhe asked for dance,
either her card was full or she was too
| weary to. dance. In fact, she was
coldly Indifferent, and she nearly drove
| Mrs. Vane wild.
'.What fool that girl isw she cried
| in a paroXysm of rage. ''She must be
blind not to see the man adOres her. "
However, she dared not interfere.
Rita's manner prevented her touching
the dangerous subject. She remem-
bered their last interview.
Sometimes she wondered if Rita's In
l;Eerence was not bait to lure Ralph
